#WelcomeRefugees: Canada resettles Syrian refugees

The Government of Canada resettled 25,000 Syrian refugees between November 2015 and February 29, 2016. This included government-supported and privately sponsored refugees. Find out what we did.

The road ahead

Our commitment to resettling Syrian refugees to Canada is continuing in 2016.

Processing of both government-supported and privately sponsored Syrian refugees has never stopped and refugees have continued to arrive during the past few weeks with more scheduled to arrive in the weeks and months ahead at a measured pace.

Open hearts and welcoming communities: it's the Canadian way

Resettling refugees is a proud and important part of Canada's humanitarian tradition. It reflects our commitment to Canadians and demonstrates to the world that we have a shared responsibility to help people who are displaced and persecuted. Get the latest #WelcomeRefugees stories.
